This painting by Edward Burne-Jones titled "Wars Of The Roses - Edward IV, Henry VI, St George With Allegory" is a beautifully detailed and evocative piece of art that combines historical and allegorical elements. The artwork is divided into multiple panels, each with its own distinct figures and scenes set against a backdrop of intricately designed Gothic arched windows.Starting from left to right:1. The first panel shows a woman seated and reading a book, symbolizing 'Arts'. The surrounding images in the smaller sub-panels below depict various scenes of teaching and learning, representing the importance of education and wisdom.2. The next panel features King Edward IV, standing in regal attire with a scepter, symbolically representing his power and rule during the Wars of the Roses. Below him, scenes likely depict moments of his courtship and marriage, highlighting his personal life and alliances.3. The center panel prominently features St. George, the patron saint of England, in armor and wielding a spear, triumphantly slaying a dragon. This is a powerful symbol of good prevailing over evil.4. Following St. George is King Henry VI, depicted in a somewhat contemplative pose with armor and a sword, reflecting his more troubled reign and the difficulties he faced during the Wars of the Roses.

Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) was a British designer and Victorian narrative painter. He was born in Birmingham to a picture-framer. He intended to become a minister and studied theology at Oxford. However, his life took a turn when he met William Morris. Together they formed The Brotherhood, a society worshipping the poets and architecture of the middle ages. They both worked together on several projects for Morris & Co. Burne-Jones designed tapestries, jewellery, sculptures, ceramics, furniture and stained glass for the company. His artworks truly captured the spirit of the nineteenth century and the Arts and Crafts movement. In recent decades his art has had a renaissance and become among the most expensive pre-raphaelite artworks to be sold at auction.
